To list all collections in Mongo shell, you can use the function getCollectionNames().
The syntax is as follows −
db.getCollectionNames();
You can use another command which is collections. The syntax is as follows −
show collections;
To list all collections in Mongo, use the above two functions. The query is as follows −
> db.getCollectionNames();
The following is the output −
[ "ConvertStringToDateDemo", "IdUpdateDemo", "ProductsInformation", "addFieldDemo", "addNewFieldToEveryDocument", "arrayInnerElementsDemo", "arrayLengthGreaterThanOne", "arrayOfArraysDemo", "caseInsensitiveDemo", "changeDataType", "changeType", "charactersAllowedDemo", "charactersDemo", "checkFieldContainsStringDemo", "checkSequenceDemo", "combinationOfArrayDemo", "conditionalSumDemo", "convertStringToNumberDemo", "copyThisCollectionToSampleDatabaseDemo", "countDemo", "createSequenceDemo", "distinctCountValuesDemo", "distinctRecordDemo", "distinctWithMultipleKeysDemo", "employeeInformation", "filterArray", "findAllDuplicateKeyDocumentDemo", "findByMultipleArrayDemo", "findDuplicateByKeyDemo", "findDuplicateRecordsDemo", "findSpecificValue", "findValueInArrayWithMultipleCriteriaDemo", "getLastNRecordsDemo", "getParticularElementFromArrayDemo", "getPartuclarElement", "getSizeOfArray", "groupByDateDemo", "incrementValueInNestedArrayDemo", "insertIfNotExistsDemo", "nestedArrayDemo", "notLikeOpeartorDemo", "regExpOnIntegerDemo", "removeArrayDemo", "removeArrayElement", "removeArrayElements", "removeDuplicateDocumentDemo", "removeElementFromDoublyNestedArrayDemo", "removeFieldCompletlyDemo", "removeObject", "renameFieldDemo", "reverseRegexDemo", "searchArrayDemo", "selectSingleFieldDemo", "singleFieldDemo", "sortDemo", "sortInnerArrayDemo", "sourceCollection", "stringFieldLengthDemo", "test.js", "uniqueIndexOnArrayDemo", "unwindOperatorDemo", "updateExactField", "updateIdDemo", "updateObjects" ]
Here is the second query to display all collections from Mongo. The query is as follows −
> show collections;
The following is the output −
